Experienced capital markets attorney and former DLA Piper partner launches new law firm

Uchill Law is a small firm offering big value to structured and real estate finance, commercial real estate, and alternative energy clients

Boston, MA, April 24, 2013 – Lawrence E. Uchill, an attorney with over 40 years of experience who has been a partner at some of Boston’s largest law firms, today announced the launch of Uchill Law, PLLC. Based in Newton, Massachusetts, Uchill Law has been established to handle a wide range of structured and real estate finance, commercial real estate and alternative energy transactions. The firm has extensive experience representing mortgage lenders and mezzanine loan funds in originating loans, representing real estate companies in securing real estate financing and capital, as well as representing large and small enterprises and individuals needing legal assistance with sophisticated finance and real estate transactions.

Uchill Law will offer clients both the proficiency and deep relationships with market leaders that are typical of a large firm, combined with the value and personal service of a smaller firm. Bringing to bear global finance and real estate expertise, the firm will deliver innovative legal representation at a cost which is significantly lower than the high fees currently charged by large regional, national and international firms.

Commenting on why he launched Uchill Law, Mr. Uchill said, “With decades of domain expertise and many years of experience working in a big law firm environment, I believe I can now offer clients through this platform the best of all worlds: high-quality, strategic legal counsel, personal service, and much lower hourly fees. With this in mind, my goal is to play an active role in helping clients build their companies so that the firm can help them achieve success. For each matter, I will work with my clients to develop a strategic plan and structure that will help maximize their opportunities. I will work tirelessly to bring each transaction to a successful, cost effective and timely conclusion.”
